English Summary/英文概要： Fish Pescado is a private investigator. He’d much rather be surfing than wading through the criminal hot spots of Cape Town. But he needs to earn money. So when his new girlfriend, the luscious lawyer Vicki Kahn, from a high-powered firm with ties to the government, sets him loose on an insurance case, Fish casts a longing look at the waves but does what he’s asked. In no time at all he’s raised the anger of the police commissioner and an agent from the National Intelligence Agency has been ordered to kill him. He is also being threatened by some gangsters with a line in drugs and rhino horn that they need to safeguard from his prying.
But then the police commissioner, Jacob Mkezi, also has a line in rhino horn that he’d like to protect. And unfortunately Fish’s inquiries are not only jeopardising the commissioner’s scheme to sell the rhino horn, they’re also raising another issue about Jacob Mkezi: his past.
Jacob Mkezi is a man with a secret that reaches back into the days of the apartheid Special Branch. He was a double agent for the State and the liberation movement’s armed wing. His activities for the State involved being a member of a hit team. He’s managed to kill off most of the team over the years but there is one man left who is prepared to reveal Mkezi’s past. That man is Daro Attilane, Fish Pescado’s surfing buddy. First Daro disappears, then a gunman breaks in on Fish and Vicki…
